Contentment

How hard we search
Seeking happiness and peace
Sometimes we even go to church
Will our longing ever cease?

We live in a world of noise
Time is filled with speed
Little to spend on life’s joys
So much on acquiring greed

But satisfaction is more than wealth
Are you happy with cars and boats?
If you don’t have your health?
Do we have to listen to people spouting quotes?

Define your needs, know your path
Put aside disappointment and resentment
Forget other people’s wrath
Be yourself and enjoy contentment.
